Hi All,

TWS did an update yesterday (at least for me, and not sure about you guys), and it seems to stuff up the trade log in that the column “Symbol” has been changed to “Fin Instrument” which is not compatible with STT and this is because the upload function in STT would look for column with heading “Symbol” and not “Fin Instrument”.

I am ranting about a first world problem really, as this issue can be easily fixed by amending the column heading in the CSV file.

Are you guys experiencing the same?

Hi Chris, I haven’t experienced this.
Have you checked the File Export Configuration in TWS? I see both Symbol and Fin Instrument in the Export Column Settings configuration dialog. Do you have the Symbol box checked?

Hi Howard,

This is interesting as the heading “Symbol” is not available in the column settings in my TWS.

Hi Chris – are you on the TWS stable build? My version number is 981.3c with a build date of June 29 2021 so haven’t seen an update for a couple of months. If you are on beta or latest builds you may want to revert to stable and see whether that resolves things for you.

Had a chat with IB today and found out that the lastest update that they made has omitted the column “Symbol” in the trade log. Hence, please check your TWS version by clicking “more option” at the point of login. If it is version “Latest”, please change it to version “Stable”. Further, I have been told that they will look into the new upgrade to find out what is wrong with the columns in trade log.

Make sure you change your TWS from “latest” to “stable”, the problem would be resolved this way.

Here’s something I just found. When you login to TWS, you can extend the dropbox and login using one of the 3 different available options for TWS. Last time I had to download the actual instal itself, I didn’t realise you could do this.
